hey babe. how was your summer?

I took some time and went home. It was good to get grounded: put a lot of time into taking pictures; put a lot of energy into my physical health; put a lot of love into the special people in my life. It was delightful.

As of last week however, I have returned full time to this place. Because sadly home hasn't changed much. Some little things are different -- the march of time does its work. By and large though, everyone's still doing the same things in the same ways. Ways I no longer find interesting, let alone exciting.

The most important goal I have for this winter is to increase output. My prior reports quickly became too large and overbearing to produce on the cadence I set for myself. There's so much to talk about I thought, I've got to get it out of my head and onto the page!

There's still plenty to report. Many things to unpack and make sense of, and a great number of interesting opportunities. But rather than try to bundle a collection of ideas up into extended essays, I want to see how things go if I publish smaller ideas more regularly. I want these notes to be something you can read and respond to in five minutes or less.

We're going to invest more time in writing less. Big Mark Twain energy.

So that's it for today. My interest in this place is back. With a vengeance.

It still feels the way it did when I first came across it. I remain just as convinced that most of us will wind up here before long. And I'm that much more excited to tell you all about it.

As they say here: we're so early
